Although An Ge did not explain the cause of the fire or who started the fire, Chu Qiao could tell from his tone that the fire was not accidental.
A woman who was favored by heaven gave birth to two princes one after another, and the eldest son was established as the prince. How could she not arouse the jealousy of the concubines? Although she wanted to stay out of the matter, she was still involved in the cruel disputes in the harem.
Who was the person who premeditated the arson was no longer important at this time. Maybe she had been executed, or she had lost her last bit of glory with the death of the late emperor.
But the fire changed Ange's fate and made him look down upon everything.
"The child obeyed her words and hoped to be a happy ordinary person, but happiness is really hard to find. Nightmares, pain, and fear accompanied him as he grew up. Although he found countless self-recognized fun, he still couldn't find it.
He couldn't be happy, and his superficial self-satisfaction could not cover up the emptiness in his heart. He had wanted to give up life countless times, but in the fire, she pushed him out. Her only request was to let him live well..."
Living well is also difficult for him.
The flattery, flattery, suspicion and frame-up in the palace made him hate everything here. He lived a decadent life. He experienced the hard work in cooking and found fun in carving, but other than that, he still
He was an unhappy person until one day he met her..."
"In the dark night, he swore that if he could meet a woman he wanted to have, he would not leave her alone and helpless like Ruohuan. He would protect her at all costs, but it was a pity that his life
The woman in it has never appeared... This is the palace, a place where true love is impossible."
An Ge's words made Chu Qiao a little frustrated. This is true. The empress values status, while the maids value power. It is indeed difficult to find true love.
"Perhaps, the love here will always be diluted by interests and power." Chu Qiao added.
But An Ge looked at Chu Qiao without hesitation, his eyes shining with a light that was difficult for Chu Qiao to understand.
"But he still found her. She was stubborn, persistent, and unwilling to admit defeat. Even in the worst situation, she never said she would give up. He admired her and loved her. He saw in her that he had been pursuing so hard.
, but couldn’t get anything, so he wanted to make his dream a reality.”
Suddenly she seemed to realize something, and she hurriedly stood up from the chair.
"A dream is a dream, how can it become a reality?" Chu Qiao smiled, but her smile was a little unnatural.
"If you work hard, everything is possible."
An Ge also stood up excitedly. Perhaps because he had been sitting for a long time, his sick leg was aching again, so he had to bend down and tap it gently.
"Are you okay?" Chu Qiao asked in a low voice.
"Physical illness is not important, you know, what do I care about?"
He didn't see the approval or acquiescence on Chu Qiao's face, and felt frustrated. He had been working hard to turn his dream into reality and make her his woman. For this goal, he was even ready to leave the palace and this place.
He was suffocated in preparation for the cage, but she seemed unwilling to accept it.
"Ange, sometimes... things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Maybe her persistence, stubbornness, unyielding, and those qualities are all for a certain purpose and she has to persevere. Maybe she doesn't
It looks so beautiful, Spring Festival, everything is just an illusion, so please don't do anything for her? Don't do anything, return to your original life, maybe one morning, when you open your eyes, she will be like a window
A gust of wind passed by and then disappeared."
What Chu Qiao said was not a lie. She was not Li Chunxiang. She could not stay in the palace with this identity. She was not Xiao Qiao, a wandering doctor. She was the fourth Miss Chu from Qingzhou, a woman who had been charged with crimes and was on the run. If her uncle
After the case is clarified, she will return to Qingzhou. If everything is in vain, she is destined to be a fugitive who cannot tell her life.
She had no intention of provoking anyone, let alone incurring a love debt, so she had to cut through the knot quickly and let An Ge give up on this idea.
"disappear?"
An Ge frowned and repeated Chu Qiao's words in confusion.
"Yes, he is a person who will disappear sooner or later, so please, Thirteenth Prince, forget about him."
Chu Qiao took a step back, walked into the room, and walked to the bed. She absentmindedly rolled up the quilt and folded her clothes bit by bit, but all she could hear in her ears were An Ge's words.
He is a pitiful man with a painful experience. Unfortunately, she cannot give him this pity because she is also a wandering, rootless, and even dangerous person. The fate of the Thirteenth Prince is miserable enough, and she should not be here
New wounds were added to the old wounds that had not yet healed.
After putting away her clothes, Chu Qiao turned around and saw An Ge standing at the door, looking at her lonely.
"If you want power and wealth, I can fight for it from the Queen Mother. After all, I am still a prince and can have my own palace, heaven and earth, and domestic slaves." He whispered.
"If you know me, you should know that this is not what I want."
Chu Qiao replied in a low voice, lowered her head, and wanted to walk out of the door, but An Ge blocked the way.
"An Ge?" Chu Qiao raised her head with a very embarrassed expression. She had finished listening to the story and it was time to go back.
"If you don't want these, I can take you out of the palace, leave here, and find a small mountain village. Although my legs are not good, I can still do some rough work. If not, I can buy crafts. My carving is very good, and I can definitely make a living.
." Ange continued.
"I said, don't do this for me, I'm not worth it."
Chu Qiao's eyes turned red. A man who was willing to give up anything for her was hard to find even with a lantern, but it was a pity that she couldn't ask for it and couldn't afford it. Once the truth was revealed, she couldn't afford someone who was related to her.
If you come out, you will be implicated.
"You should find a good woman, continue to pursue your dreams, and be a happy ordinary person. That is not difficult." After Chu Qiao said this, she lowered her head, pushed An Ge away, and strode out.
.
An Ge stood beside the door and looked at Chu Qiao with annoyance.
"But she can only be you, Li Chunxiang."
"Li Chunxiang?"
These three words sent a chill down Chu Qiao's spine. She had to stop, turned around slowly, and said word by word: "This name will not last long in your memory.
Third Prince."
"Don't call me Thirteenth Prince!" An Ge was a little annoyed. He picked up something and threw it to the ground. His expression was extremely depressed. This was the only moment in so many years when he couldn't pretend to be happy.
